    Abstract

    Intracranial calcification simulating Sturge-Weber syndrome is rare in association with intracranial infection. A case of bilateral gyriform calcification after herpes simplex virus encephalitis evaluated by repeat computed tomography (CT) scans is presented. To our knowledge this is the first published report of CT findings in this entity.
